The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.
Readers might remember hearing about the race car tearing through the Wynn Las Vegas last November. It appears that was part of the production for Red Bull's epic race through Las Vegas.
The remaining 256 players are now on another 20-minute break.
The tournament room had cleared out as players went off on break, but Ahmed Karrim and Petre Ionescu were still sitting at their table as a massive pot was in progress.
There was around 70,000 in the middle with the board showing 2♣J♠4♣K♥K♦. Karrim then bet 72,000 in the cutoff as Ionescu went deep into the tank from the big blind.
Ionescu tanked for nearly seven minutes into the break before he tossed in a chip to signify a call. Karrim showed 10♦9♦ for a bluff, and Ionescu turned over J♣8♣ to win the massive pot and climb near 500,000.
Vadzim Haiduk raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and was called by Gabriel Akiki on the button and small blind Tamas Adamszki before Idan Baranes, in the big blind, moved all in for 65,000.
Haiduk called, while Akiki tanked for a moment before mucking. Adamszki also folded, leaving Baranes and Haiduk heads-up.
Idan Baranes: 10♣10♥
Vadzim Haiduk: A♠10♠
Haiduk was looking for an ace to send Baranes to the rail but none arrived on the Q♠5♦9♥K♣2♣ board and Baranes doubled up.
"Proud man. Proud man. You can breathe now," a tablemate told Baranes. Akiki shook his head after the hand and admitted he folded king-queen.
Adam Rayhaan opened to 5,000 in middle position and Ahmed Ibrahimi defended out of the big blind.
Ibrahimi checked on the flop of J♣5♣A♠ and Rayhaan checked back. The 7♦ turn also checked through and Ibrahimi led out for 2,500 on the A♠ river. Rayhaan called. Ibrahimi showed 7♥3♦ for a pair of sevens, but it was no good against the pair of jacks of his opponent with J♠9♠.
With around 30,000 in the pot on a board of 8♦J♦7♦10♦, Daniel Rezaei bet 20,000 from the cutoff before big blind Sercan Okten moved all in for 54,000.
Rezaei quickly called with 8♠8♣ for a set, but he was already drawing dead as Okten turned over 9♦6♣ for a straight flush.
The K♥ on the river was inconsequential as Okten doubled up. "Wow," he said in disbelief as he sat back in his chair while the dealer counted out the pot.
"I can take a picture," a tablemate said.
In middle position, David Civai raised to 5,000, and was called by Mohammad Nadjafian seated on his left.
Both players checked on the flop 6♥A♥4♠. But on the turn Q♣, after Civai bet 3,500, Nadjafian raised to 11,000. Civai called, then checked on the river J♣.
After this action, Nadjafian moved all in to force Civai to go all in with the 36,500 chips he had left. But the Italian player preferred to fold. Before her scooped the pot, Nadjafian showed A♦Q♠.
Tarmo Tammel opened to 5,000 from early position and [Removed:599] called in the big blind.
[Removed:601] checked on the flop of 2♥5♥6♦ and Tammel checked back. [Removed:601] checked again on the A♦ turn and Tammel stabbed with a bet of 6,500. [Removed:601] called.
[Removed:601] checked once more on the 7♠ river and Tammel checked back. [Removed:601] showed J♥J♣ for a pair of jacks and Tammel mucked in defeat.
Zaid Noori moved all in for 46,500 from early position and Kirill Burtin splashed in some blue 5,000 chips from the button to put him at risk.
Zaid Noori: A♥3♥
Kirill Burtin: A♦A♣
Burtin had picked up aces to leave Noori in jeopardy of elimination as the flop came 3♦Q♦8♦. The turn, though, brought the 3♠ and Noori improved to trips to take the lead.
Burtin was drawing to either a flush or the last ace in the deck but didn't hit either on the 7♠ river as Noori doubled up.
